Major differences between ‘The Rich’ and ‘The Poor’
Risk and Right attitude to work to life are major hallmark of success.
Everybody wants to be rich, but most of them remain poor after so many years of wanting the good things of life. Wonder why this is so? It’s simple! Choices and decisions the difference between a rich man and a poor man is their decisions. Whatever we do today determines our tomorrow, and that is why rich people are very careful what they say, where they go to and what they do.
The principle of sowing and reaping can not be underestimated. Rich people usually put back a reasonable amount of money into reproduction, knowing that it will yield more in a matter of time. But this is not so for the poor, who wouldn’t risk saving the little they have. Poor people prefer to attend to their immediate need with the hope that tomorrow will take care of itself. They eat up everything and wait on a miracle to happen faith without works is nothing.Now don’t get me wrong. There is nothing bad with thinking big and out of the box. What is not right about this is not having what it takes to pull off a great idea. Rather than set unrealistic goals, the rich know their strengths and attempt goals that they can achieve within a specific time frame.
The rich are in control of their lives and take the bull by the horn rather than wait on chance or luck. On the other hand, poor people usually give excuses for their failure and blame anyone and everyone for their situation. When you leave life to chance you would only get what life tosses to you and that would not help you or your career amount to anything.In any business and life path, challenges will always arise, but the ability to ride over these challenges without getting caught up is what makes a rich man different from a poor man. Poor people like to see mountains as unmovable and often times they do believe that most things are impossible.Often times, When a kid tells his poor parents that he wants to be a billionaire they laugh at him, not because they do not want a rich kid but they do not see the possibilities of that happening. Also, poor people only see just a few meters while rich people see through an idea till it is successful. If you desire to create a better life like the rich, its time to think big and create the abundance lifestyle for yourself and people around you
If you’re not committed to being rich, you can never be rich. When you say you want to be rich, but do nothing about it, you will remain poor. They hope to be great but trend with low lives and do nothing about improving their livelihood. This is the mentality of poor people. They will just think about how good it is going to be if they are rich, but they will never do anything about their dreams. Successful people are committed toward their dreams and they go extra miles to achieve their goals.
Strategic spending is one good way to save money and most rich people practice this often, irrespective of the fact that they have all the money to buy the world. Poor people buy anything they want as long as they have the cash at hand to get it.
Life is a risk already, so why slow down on taking more risks that could land you in a better place? I’m not saying you shouldn’t think carefully before venturing into a business or something, but do not get shaken by the negative vibes you get and decide to play safe – that’s exactly what poor people do.
Do you have any rich friends? Or all of your friends are poor? I’m not suggesting that you need to stop making friends with poor people, but like you know, birds of a feather flock together. So if you want to be rich, go get yourself some rich friends.
One of the fastest ways to gain financially abundance is to learn directly from people who have already achieved this status. And if you’re not willing to learn, you will never be successful. So don’t take the poor man’s stand on this topic, upgrade your brain database and you will find wealth someday in some information that you would stumble upon.Some people are so afraid that they will lose their money and they form a mindset that blocks their creativity. They formed the mindset of ‘investing not to lose the money’. However, rich and successful people know exactly how they need to think in order to win the game of money. They will think and act from the view of playing the game to win. Unlike poor people, they are not always afraid of failure.

WHY WE ALL JUST CAN'T GET ALONG
Our Giant Africa Country political polarization is driven more by incorrect beliefs and stereotypes about the other side, other ethnic groups than distaste with those people.
That should be good news for those wondering how to knit polarized sides together, or at least nudge them toward compromise. Incorrect beliefs are easier to overcome than an ingrained lack of trust. However, as the writer later demonstrate, even that remedy may prove hard to achieve
If it seems we are a nation of opposites more than ever, we are. According to a Pew Research Center report in 2014, political polarization of the American public has increased, and partisan antagonism is "deeper and more extensive than at any point in the last two decades." same experience existing in the nigeria state
“When we look at people’s political identities, we know there is huge polarization in Nigeria” .
But a fundamental question is, are these being driven by what economists would call taste—‘I like yoruba people and don’t like green ibo or hausa’—or is it driven by beliefs—‘it’s not that I don’t like them per se, I just don’t think we can trust them.’ Those are two completely different reasons that observationally result in the same thing—‘I don’t trust them’—but has very different policy implications and takeaways for practitioners.”
the overarching issue is what leads people to trust one group over another, which has implications for business, socio cultural existence as well as the political arena.
“my view is that it really seems that it’s actually beliefs that drive trust, not taste. That’s actually good news because it’s harder to change people’s taste preferences than it is beliefs,”
The idea is the more we can have trusting transactions and relationships and exchanges, that’s going to be better for everyone.
This is my little view.....
Fani-Kayode recounts 1966 Coup: Samuel Ladoke Akintola
Femi Fani-Kayode, who is the son of then Deputy Premier of the South West, Remi Fani-Kayode, revealed how his father was arrested, and the subsequent murder of the Premier, Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola in an interview with Leadership.
He said:
“What I witnessed that night was traumatic and devastating for me and my family and, of course, what the nation witnessed that night was horrific. It was a night of blood, terror and sadness. The events of that night set in motion a series of events which changed our history. The consequences of the events of that night are still with us till this day. So, it was not a good night; it was a sad and terrible night; one of blood and slaughter.
“What I saw, what I witnessed was this; in the middle of the night, my mother came into the room which I shared with my older brother, Rotimi and my sister Toyin. I was six at the time. The lights had been cut, so all we could see was lights from vehicles. At that time, my father was deputy premier of the South West so; the official residence had a very long drive. We saw two headlights and heard the engines of two lorries drive up the drive-way. The occupants of the lorries stormed our home and my father went out to meet them, after he had called us and explained that he would explain their coming later. He explained that he would rather go out to meet them than let them come into the house.
“The minute he stepped out, they brutalised him. I witnessed this. They tied him up and threw him into the lorry. Interestingly, the first thing they said to him was “where are your thugs now?” My father’s response was “I don’t have thugs, only gentlemen.” I think this made them brutalise him even more. They threw him in the back of the lorry, tied him up and, then stormed the house.
“When they got into the house, they ransacked every nook and cranny, shooting into the ceiling and wardrobes. They were very brutal and frightful and we were terrified. My mother was screaming from the balcony because all she could do was focus on her husband, who was downstairs.
““Don’t kill him, don’t kill him!!” she kept screaming at them. I can still visualise this and hear her voice pleading, screaming and crying. I didn’t know where my brother or sister was; the house was in total chaos. A six-year-old, I was standing there in the middle of the house, surrounded by uniformed men who were ransacking the house and terrorising my family.
“Something extraordinary happened. All of a sudden, one of the soldiers came up to me, put his hand on my head and said: “Don’t worry, we won’t kill your father, stop crying.” He said this thrice. After he said it the third time, I stopped crying. I went rushing to my mum who was still on the balcony and told her to stop crying because the soldier had promised that they would not kill my father, that everything would be okay.
“I held on to the words of that soldier. That night, I never cried again. They took him away and as the lorry drove away, my mother kept on wailing and so was everyone in the house.
“From there, they went to the home of Chief S.L Akintola, who was the premier. When they got there, unfortunately, my mother had phoned Akintola to inform him of what was happening. Akintola had calmed her, assuring that all will be well. When they got to Akintola’s house, he already knew of their coming so instead of coming out, the minute they got there, he called out some of his boys and they came firing with their guns. A gun battle ensued and the plan was delayed. They thought they could pick my father, pick Akintola and go kill them were they deemed fit.
“Akintola wounded two of the soldiers who came and, when his ammunition ran out from inside the house, he came out with a white handkerchief and surrendered. The minute he stepped out, they just slaughtered him, right in front of my father. After they killed him, they moved on with my father to Lagos. When they got there, they went to the Officer’s Mess at Dodan Barracks.”
